unforgiven Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Finnally got the M5 out to dance.Put in the AR10 buffer which was longer and heavier [ by feel] than Aero carbine buffer.Cleaned and lubed the BCG,cleaned chamber and barrel.First shot and trigger had nothing for the next one then I heard a click.Trigger reset and shot next round.So I found that I had to push trigger forward about an 1/8" it reset and shot.Ran 80 rds. 147,150,and 168 grs.Winchester,ZQ,Fiocchi and PPU.0 FTE,0 FTF.Last round bolt lock on Pmag and Lancer Warfighter.Consistent pile 4' @ 4:30.Toward the last 30 rds. trigger reset without issue.Set a 50 yrd. zero as that is the longest pit Izzac Walton has.Set Eotec at same zero and has absolute co-witness with MagPul Pro BUS.I figured since it was almost 98* I would be the only dumbass out to shoot,about 40 min. later a guy pulls up and I point to my ear to let a shot fly.He smiles and sez ok,not putting any ear pro on.I let shot fly and see window go up.Let a few fly and see this guy is in a wheelchair.I'm like WTF that was the end for me as I couldn't have this guy waiting in the heat.He ask's if it's a .308 and I said yea.Asked him if he wanted to shoot it,he said fuk yea.I thought he was going to shoot from his chair but he got himself onto the bench.Last thing I wanted to see was him rolling backwards or flipping back.....He gave me his phone to video his shooting the M5.First video was of my feet...second one was of him shooting.I set him up he wanted to zero a 15 he put together and zero a Eotech he had on the rifle.Got stuff from his car set up a target and got my $hit together to go.Had to ask what happened to him,car reck left 3 of his bro's dead and him paralyzed from waist down.He was young around 30 something.Camera is charging will get picks of M5.Trigger is going to be changed to Mec Arms,barrel to be chopped and stainless BABC added to finish @ 14.5.Hope everyone has a great Labor day.
Sisco Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Nice report Unforgiven. I am sure that fellow appreciated a gentleman being around to help him out. Thumbs up! Look forward to more reports as you work on it.
Malig8r Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 That was cool of you to help him out & also let him shoot your 308. I'm sure he enjoyed it! Who knows, might have even pushed him toward owning one. Did you tell him about our website?
GreyGoose Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 When I was young I used to love to drink in the dive bars, hang out with the old guys, listen to all the great stories, these days its at the range.
unforgiven Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Posted September 7, 2015 I tell everyone I meet about this place.Dive bars were my place of choice.
98Z5V Posted September 8, 2015 Report Posted September 8, 2015 Rene, what trigger was in this thing, brother?

wetncold Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 Sounds like a great day. I might show up one day in my wheelchair. I want one of those with the tank tracks on it so I can get out to the really good places.
GreyGoose Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 I think they call that an ARGO W+C...
survivalshop Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 There are tracked Wheel chair's ,that is out for sportsmen that need it for rough terrain . There are a bunch of different models available . I like how they have a winch on that Argo also , piece of mind .

Magwa Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 awesome day Rene, and a great thing to do for your fellow rifleman.... sad when car wrecks take so much.......
unforgiven Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Posted September 12, 2015 Rene, what trigger was in this thing, brother?Stock Aero trigger.Bought the lower complete.Didn't do $hit with it [no lube on pins or engagement faces] never had to on any lower ever.The more I shot the better it behaved.It's gonna be changed out.Main thing was recoil system and gas were straight.I might be in a chair myself some day with post-polio syndorme.I'll worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

unforgiven Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Posted September 12, 2015 I just had to push it forward about 1/8" if that for complete reset.I thought the BAD lever was the problem,spoke to brother Rob and he said it could be disconnector but as I continued to shoot it worked better.Just about gone toward the end of 80 rd. session.
98Z5V Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 You running the receiver extension that Aero gave you? AR10 buffer is too long for that extension, by about 5/8".
unforgiven Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Posted September 13, 2015 Negative...AR10 carbine extention from brother Ron,EA1095 spring and AR10 buffer.All Armalite.
98Z5V Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 Okay - I'm relieved - that buffer wouldn't have run for shiit in a standard 7" receiver ext. I think the trigger thing was parts-mating-together... that buffer in the ext dry? No light lube on the buffer or spring?
Rsquared Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 You ain't winding up in any chair my brother. I'll kick your ass out of it and make you follow me to the next cooler/bar. I have faith that you'll move. Beside's.....how else could climb aboard and ride shotgun on the short-bus?
Rsquared Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 That......and we all know that this is what your wallet says.............................................................................

98Z5V Posted September 13, 2015 Report Posted September 13, 2015 You're a good man. Not doubting you, but I just had to check. Rock on, wildman! lmfao!

I have faith that you'll move. Beside's.....how else could climb aboard and ride shotgun on the short-bus? The job I'm on is my therapy,nine floors no skip.All ladder work.I was in a wheelchair when I had my knees done,it was a sobering experiance.Couldn't wait to leave that fukin thing behind.I can feel for those that can't.
392heminut Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 They say use it or loose it as we get older. You push yourself a lot more than most folks your age & shape so I doubt you'll end up in a wheelchair! Rock on brother!
